•How has the world’s population changed throughout human history? Why?

•Based on a geographic analysis of the world, is it becoming dangerously overpopulated?

Population•Why is it important to study

population?

•http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=emx92kBKads

World Population Trends...

• Based on the following chart, write a 1 sentence description describing a trend in world population throughout history.

• What factors account for the recent explosion in population?

Population Growth• The world’s

population is growing exponentially.

• Most of the growth is in LDCs

• More MDCs are at 0 population growth

• Some in Eastern Europe (Russia) are declining in population. Why?

Russia recently offered a bonus of

250,000 rubles (about $9,200) to women who would

have a second child.

Population Growth•What factors influence population

growth...

•amount of food

•birth rates

•life span

•culture

•contraceptives

Take 2 minutes and identify 2 other topics that are

directly related to populationsize and growth throughout

the world.

Population Growth• Why do you think population is growing most

rapidly in LDCs?

• 80% of the world’s pop. live in LDCs in Africa, Asia, and Latin America

• What factors influence population growth or decline?

KI: 1 -Where is the world’s population

distributed?• Demography - the study of population characteristics - use data like census statistics

• (structure, change, dynamics)

• Demographics - the study of characteristics of the population

• demographic data - specific data used to profile certain groups - used in marketing, political research and campaigning

• controversy behind demographics - “profiling” groups of people

Expansion of the Ecumene

5000 BC - AD 1900

75% live on only 5% of the Earth’s

surface

Fig. 2-3 (pg. 50): The ecumene, or the portion of the earth with permanent human settlement, has expanded to cover most of the world’s land area.

World Population Map Assignment

•Where do people live throughout the world?

•4 main regions: East Asia, South Asia, Southeast Asia, western & central Europe, and Northeastern US and Canada

•What is the distribution of people throughout the world? (density)

•How do geographers measure this distribution? (arithmetic, physiological, and agricultural density)

Arithmetic Population Density

Fig. 2-4: Arithmetic population density is the number of people per total land area. The highest densities are found in parts of Asia and Europe.

Arithmetic Population Density

This is an example of a choropleth map: each section is shaded according to a common criteria.

Arithmetic Population Density

Arithmetic Population Density

Arithmetic Population Density

Arithmetic Population Density

Physiological Density

Fig. 2-5: Physiological density is the number of people per arable land area. This is a good measure of the relation between population and agricultural resources in a society.

Agricultural Density

•Agricultural Density: ratio of the number of farmers to the amount of arable land.

•US and Canada have lower agric. densities than India and Bangledesh.

•Why would the US have fewer farmers per acre of arable land? What is different about farming in the US vs. India or a more LDC?

Do Now: 11/3

•Take out your population map. Review your definitions for arithmetic, physiological, and agricultural density.

•Respond to the following question:

Do Now: 11/5•Pick up a scrap paper and take a seat in your

groups that we were in yesterday.

•What is the relationship between development and population growth or decline?

•What future trends do you predict for population sizes in MDCs? LDCs?

Vocab Quiz•Pick two words. You will write one sentence that

relates these two words in a way that demonstrates understanding of both.

•Example: Malthus & Demographic Transition Model

•Malthus predicted that the world population would grow exponentially with no limits, but the Demographic Transition Model shows how the population of Industrialized countries stabilize because people start having fewer and fewer children.

Objective 11/5

•We will examine prominent geographic theories regarding overpopulation

•We will create a Children’s Book called: The Demographic Transition to demonstrate understanding of said model

Overpopulation• “The [former] director of the

U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, Gen. Michael Hayden, when asked to pinpoint which issue was of most pressing concern to him, said that the most troublesome threat facing the U.S. and the world today is not terrorism or global warming, but overpopulation, especially in the poorest parts of the planet.”

• http://www.modernrecession.com/Overpopulation%20and%20Job%20Losses.pdf

• Do you agree or disagree with this statement?

CIA Director, General Michael Hayden

•The rapid growth of the world's population, according to Hayden, may lead to fueling further instability and extremism, along with exacerbating worsening climate change, and making fuel and food much scarcer. Population, Hayden argues, is considered the prime multiplier for all types of human ills.

•Debate Question: Is overpopulation the greatest threat facing our world today?

Overpopulated World?

•Malthus

•Neo-Malthusians

•Demographic Transition Model

Will the World Face an Overpopulation

Problem?• What is the most immediate challenge that overpopulation of the earth poses to mankind?

– Food Supply

• Thomas Malthus - English economist and demographer

•Essay on the Principle of Population 1798 (time of Industrial Revolution population explosion)

• Basic premise: The population is growing exponentially, however, the food supply only increase arithmetically

Malthus’ Theory•What do you think

Malthus proposed as the solution to this crisis?

•“moral restraint” to produce lower CBR

•if not, overpopulation will produce high CDR due to disease, famine, war, or other disasters

Malthus’ Critics•What is Malthus really recommending?

•Why might that be controversial?

•Malthus assumes that world resources are fixed

•What happened to food production during the Industrial Revolution?

•Malthus did not understand the Demographic Transition

•Why was Malthus wrong?

Food & Population, 1950-2000Malthus vs.

Actual Trends

Fig. 2-20: Malthus predicted population would grow faster than food production, but food production actually expanded faster than population in the 2nd half of

the 20th century.

Neo-Malthusians•Many believe that a “Malthusian” catastrophe

could still occur

1.Sustainability - How will we keep up with food demand w/ a pop. of 10 billion?

2.Increasing per capita demand - avg. 1st world citizen consumes 8X the 3rd world citizen. As the world becomes more developed, so will the demand for more food.

3.Natural Resource Depletion - over-consumption of other resources like timber, minerals, energy and non-renewables. Will a world of 10 billion have enough materials to create shelters and energy to heat homes?

Overpopulation

Do Now: 11/8•How do

geographers define overpopulation?
